Dear Beacon Hill neighbors,The proposed up zoning for our neighborhood is moving fast. We need to advocate for our need for low income housing from the MHA (Mandatory Housing Affordability) program where developers are required to include low income housing in their building or give money for such use.

November – DON (Dept. of Neighborhood) will mail notice to affected homeowners inside and outside the urban village asking for feedback.

December 6 – 6:30 p.m. Beacon Hill Community Meeting at Jefferson Community Center. This will help us prepare for a small meeting with our District Rep. Council Pres. Bruce Harrell and PLUZ (Planning Land Use and Zoning) Committee Chair Rob Johnson.

January – DON (Dept. of Neighborhood) meeting in Columbia City to get input from southend communities.

February– The EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) for the 2035 Seattle Comprehensive Plan will ask for comments.

March or April – The OPCD (Office of Planning & Community Development) will release the updated proposed 2035 Seattle Comprehensive Plan.
